What the Hell happened? On Livescore.com they indicated that CR
(Lopez) got a red flag early in the second half (46th minute), meaning they played all of the second half a man short! Two goals in the game were scored on penalty kicks. Myrie (for CR) scored in the 90th minute for the win (2-1)! Too bad no one was there to witness it. Perhaps in the next game in CR, the fans will not act like savages, so they can have fans
attending future games.

Manana US plays at Mexico. I think the US can win it. I predict Johnson
will score the winning goal for the US.

That is correct, Lopez got his second yellow at the beginning of the second half.

Congrats to the Ticos... and I was reading some Espn articles online regarding the sanctions and the fact the had to play behind closed doors. What shocked me was in almost every article they stated

"Fans Rioted after last months 2-1 loss to Mexico"


I find it hard to swallow that they can make that statement. Rioting! are they kidding.... I was there and still don't recall anything other than a few water bottles being thrown.. Now I do not condone this action, but to call that a riot is a joke and gives a bad name to the Ticos and their fans.

I can only imagine what they would call a Sunday Afternoon at a Jets Game.... I guess the vomit, and drunkeness of 76K fans in NJ would be considered a revolution.

Costa Rica defeats Panama 2-1 ---

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) - Roy Myrie scored the
decisive goal in the final seconds as Costa Rica beat
Panama 2-1 on Saturday in a silent, empty stadium.

Costa Rica played its CONCACAF World Cup qualifying
match behind closed doors as punishment for unruly
behavior by the team's fans during a match against
Mexico in February.

Myrie, who entered as a substitute in the 65th minute,
scored on a crossing shot that froze goalie Jaime
Penedo.

The 'Ticos' went ahead when Wayne Wilson converted a
penalty five minutes before halftime.

Panama, also attempting to reach their first World Cup
finals, equalized from another penalty in the 58th
minute, converted by Roberto Brown.

The visitors were poised to take a precious point back
home until substitute Roy Myrie eluded several defenders
to grab the winner in the 90th minute.

Costa Rica won despite playing nearly half the match
with 10 men after Jose Luis Lopez was ejected for
accumulation of yellow cards in the 46th minute.

While there certainly was no riot more than a few water bottles were thrown. It's about time soccer started controlling the outburst from fans who are unhappy with the result of a match.

While I do not condone the behavior shown in many NFL football stadiums ( have been to both Philadelphia and Miami home games) certainly the level of violence pails in relationship to some soccer games.

Yeah, I'm watching the game now on ESPN2. I couldn't believe that first
goal. It doesn't look good. Maybe Donovan and Johnson can get some good scoring chances in the second half.

I watched the game live in Puerto Viejo on Saturday. OBviously it made Ticos very happy though I didnt think they played particularly well. The winning goal by Roy Myrie was especially exciting since his Dad was there in the bar with us 8) . A new national hero is born...at least for a few days...
